Bring user back to certain position after delete

[DebbieDavis]

Hello, I've been thinking out of the box in this one and probably need some help. There is a list of stuff with a delete icon next to each entry. User clicks delete, this removes the item, then I want the user to be able to return to the same area. I'm working on it but somebody out there might have a great idea I haven't thought of. The lists are long so it would be a convenience for the user not have to scroll all the way down again. Thanks in advance.

do while not items.eof
response.write "<tr><td>" & items("item_no") & "<td><a href='?delentry=" & items("line_no") & "'>delete</a>"
items.movenext
loop

SQL="delete from items where ln=" & request.querystring("delentry")
objConn.execute(SQL)
response.redirect "items.asp"

Maybe put in an anchor for each line number then after the delete return to the same line number minus one or something like that? Thanks for your thoughts.

Yes, the anchor would work, just pass the anchor id value aloing with the submit and you can then redirect back to that point in the page....

Thanks, Bastien. That's what I ended up doing and it's working properly.
